How Can We Feel Better?

We've been talking a lot about our feelings over the last few weeks and the different facial expressions that often come with those emotions. The kids are doing great at being able to recognize when they feel happy, sad, tired, sick, and angry. Now that most of the kids are identifying their emotions, what can we do next? 

Today we focused on what we can do when we do get mad or sad. What can we choose do to make ourselves feel better? This is a question we will continue to talk about over the next week. During small groups, the kids practiced representing feelings using different kinds of materials. 

We will continue to revisit our emotions and how we can handle all of those feelings. It will be interesting to see what the kids can come up with over the next week.
